Pikmin 3

Zavvi was kind enough to not dispatch my copy until yesterday while dispatching New Super Luigi U on Wednesday, so if I'm unlucky I wont even get this game next week.

Loving the game so much! Nintendo in HD looks so nice! Wow that water! I am going to play it all night!

That's exactly what I said - played it till about 2am and was late for work 2 days in a row lol

Amazon sent mine Thursday night and it still hasn't arrived, they're getting worse and fulfilling pre-orders for launch day eh.

The main thing I wanna know about the game is, one of my favourite things about the first 2 games were the seriously creepy enemies with almost godly powers that were really hard to beat, like the Smoky Progg and the Waterwraith.

Are there any enemies like that in Pikmin 3? I'll genuinely be disappointed if there aren't.

It's a shame the main game isn't fully co-op. Would be fantastic to work together. Was missed in Pikmin 2 and now in 3.

Aye, mission mode it is - still, it's good to have, though I defo see what you mean about the main game having it - would really have worked given the three playable characters.

There are all sorts, the bosses are pretty disturbing I must say - they do make good use of the different Pikmin types. It's more disturbing in the sense that they'll eat a shit load of Pikmin if you do wrong (watch my playthrough videos...!) and you really do get attached to these little buggers this time round!

Gotta have this. Gotta have it now!

Audio version of the review coming this Thursday on Glass to the Wall.

In the Full Price Top 40 in the UK, Pikmin 3 made it to No.1! Impressive - first Wii U game to do so...

That was in the chart that included budget games - Minecraft on 360 is super cheap. In the Full Price Only chart it was No.1. Depends on the site reporting. Many prefer doom and gloom when it comes to Nintendo. Seeing both NSLU and Pikmin doing well is surprising in a good way given how nothing Wii U related seems to sell here.

I started the game last Friday and I'm already in the last level. Awesome game, I just can't put it away!
